[ everybody is a little bit in love with Yuji-sama. the young man's sunny personality has been a such a pleasant surprise to everyone, reminding them of the first day of spring after their long winters and making everyone a little hopeful for their young master too.

Nanami felt the same in the beginning - surprised and hopeful that this match would be a successful one at last. he's still hopeful that the young master will agree to marry his betrothed, but it's for more selfish reasons now, as he cannot imagine this house without Yuji-sama's presence in it any more. that warm personality, the cheerful voice and smiles, the kind words he seems to have for almost everyone. how are they supposed to go on without that? ]

You helped?

[ a small smile softens Nanami's features, not at all surprised that Yuji-sama would go and help with the harvest himself. the people in his own country must feel the loss of their young master painfully. ]

You won't mind helping out here too, then? We tend to go and help the villagers around here as well.

[ seeing how the men are usually tied up in the young master's war campaigns, it's the least the household can do to help. ]

Our festivals are on the smaller side, however. Most of the harvest is preserved as quickly as possible because of our long winters. But perhaps Yuji-sama would like to arrange a harvest feast this year?
